Man would I love to load my GC games via usb but can't make this work. When launching I'm prompted to copy to SD? If I allow that the wii crashes and reboots when running wind waker. Got the latest usbloadergx and just finished a full refresh of my soft mod. Settings are per this guide. Any ideas? thx

You have either an outdated forwarder or an outdated loader, try loading from the HBC. If that doesn't work you need to find USB Loader GX r1200 or higher.

Download r1208 of GX and make sure your Custom Paths are properly set in settings.

The forwarder just looks for the boot.dol on the hard drive or sd card. This defers from a channel install which you might be thinking about.

Outdated forwarders can cause issues too, I speak from experience lol. I had problems USB loading GC games from USB loader GX at one time and it turned out the forwarder was part of the problem.

BxLgnd, I grabbed r1208 but the HBC is still reporting the version as r1180. Here's a step-by-step on how I updated the loader. Any holes in my process?

1. removed the usbloadergx channel
2. deletes usb:/apps/usbloader_gx
3. d/l and extract the all-in-one package from "getting started" in this guide - 4th from the top on google code
4. install new channel using wad from archive in step 3
5. copy r1208 boot.dol over the existing one in /apps/usbload_gx
6. HD settings GX 32k aligned=ON
7. custom path settings main gc path=usb:/gamecube

If I launch loader from HBC and run wind waker I get dies mios logo then black screen. Go into the loader from the channel and it still wants to copy to sd card. I'm stumped. :( Going to try and rip the disk again.

Anything above r1180 is a beta and does not come with a updated meta.xml. You can change it yourself by opening the meta.xml in Notepad++.

The forwarder you are using is outdated, google UNEO 5.1, that is the one you need. Also tell me what path your game ISO is in and how it is named?

This is interesting... launch the loader from hbc and I see more options in the "loader settings" menu including settings for gamecube source and mode. Don't see these when launched from the loader channel. Mismatch between the channel version and the boot.dol?

The path for your Gamcube ISOs should be usb:/games.

Looks like you may have another version installed on your SD card. Either press 1 on your Wii remote while in the HBC to select to the device to load your homebrew from or update the version on your SD card.

Found and removed two loadergx channels and installed: "USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad"

At least now I get a consistent result now matter how the loader is launched. Still broken, though. lol Dios mios and the a hang on black screen.

Pathing look like this:

usb:/games/THE LEGEND OF ZELDA The Wind Waker for USA [GZLE01]/game.iso
